The Blooming Great Tea Party is Marie Curie's summer fundraiser and encourages everyone to get together and hold a tea party, bake sale or special tea break in aid of the charity.

This year the Blooming Great Tea Party will be supported by John Lewis nationwide - the first time the campaign has been supported on this scale by a retailer. Customers visiting John Lewis Norwich on June 9 will be able to buy tea and cake in The Place To Eat, meet a Marie Curie Nurse who will be talking about her role and speak with Hugo Stevenson, the Community Fundraiser for Marie Curie in Norfolk.

To join the John Lewis Blooming Great Tea Party head to John Lewis Norwich, The Place To Eat restaurant, Second Floor.

The Blooming Great Tea Party will take place between 9am - 5pm and is open to all customers.
